Seeing ex from mainly amiable split - how to move forward

[ListeningtoEvaCassidy]

I split up with my boyfriend of six months recently.

It was kind of on the cards for some time.

We were compatible enough so at the talking about future plans, stage. Very good personality fit but due to him having children it was very hard.

We are members of the same activity based group and I really enjoy being in it. I'm seeing him early next week (well going to a group meet he is at too!)

Any tips? I'm used to more dramatic break-ups so am not really sure what the etiquette is.

I suppose I can't control the outcome, I would like to find peace in this interaction. We have been in touch via e-mail since the break-up.

There is still some sadness in me and a little bit of anger, if I'm honest. But I don't feel NC would be appropriate. And I like this social group.

I think the only realistic approach is going to be 'mature distance'. However you're feeling, if you still want to be part of the group, you'll have to find a way to be civil and unemotional. May help to acknowledge with each other that it's going to be awkward.
